Welcome Back!

by Meghann on August 16, 2010

Welcome back to reality that is. 😉

This past weekend was just one crazy adventure after another. I made so many new friends, got to see and experience so many cool things, and now I need to take a moment to sit back and just let it all sink in. It’s hard to believe I’m already back at my work desk about to start back at my normal everyday routine. No fair.

In case you missed it or are new to the blog (Welcome new HLS friends!!) here are the recaps from the weekend.

My night ended early – I crashed that pillow hard – and my morning started late – the snooze button is my new best friend. My body was desperate to catch up on sleep and made sure to take it as much of it as it possible could before my week back at work started.

As of right now my fridge contains about 5 things (not including condiments), but thankfully two of those five things were plain yogurt and strawberries – just what I needed to make a beautiful bowl of cereal for breakfast.

In the mix

Honey Peanut Butter

Plain Yogurt

Strawberries

1/2 cup Kashi Flakes

1/2 cup Kashi H2H

MixMyGranola HLS Swag

This bowl reminds me that it’s good to be home. 🙂

I have A LOT to catch up on at my desk right now. And not just with my job either, but with the blog and life in general. I really want to write a reflection post about this weekend and what blogging and the friends I’ve made through blogging truly means to me. I felt so inspired meeting everyone this weekend, I am still overwelmed with all the warm fuzzies running through my body from it all. 🙂

Blog events always create warm fuzzies! I am always amazed at how sweet and wonderful everyone is in the blog community and even more so when you actually get to meet the bloggers in person! Of course you and your mom come to mind when I say this….will never forget our NY trip! You guys are the sweetest! Glad it was a wonderful time for all 🙂

I get warm fuzzies reading all my favorite blogger’s posts about HLS…I had commented to Caitlin earlier this week that maybe in 2011 I would attend the HLS and get to meet all my fave bloggers in person! I guess I should start commenting more so some of them get to know who I am! Haha! Maybe HLS would give me that last push to unscare myself from starting my own healthy living blog…??! Great recaps on what looked like a fabulous weekend full of great food, fun and friends!

PS- Hi, I’m Nikki and I’ve been reading your blog for almost a year I think. I don’t comment very often, but rest assured that I read your wonderful blog each and everyday! I live in Canada (Sherwood Park, Alberta) and I must admit that I sometimes envy your beautiful Florida weather, even when you are hating it! I will also admit that running in the heat is one of my least favorite things to do, and one day I hope you can try winter running- minus 30 degrees celsius…it’s not as bad as it may seem 😉 Thanks for writing this great blog that keeps me entertained 3 times a day…when I should be working!

I can’t imagine how you must feel after such a long weekend – it was overwhelming (in a good way) just reading all of the posts. I love that you have a link to the recaps because for someone who wasn’t there its a really good way to catch up, it also makes me really, really want to attend next year. I can’t wait til then!

Meghann – it was so nice to meet you at HLS! The conference was so great, congrats on a job well done. Can’t wait for next year! (PS – I’m also running on 10-10-10… possibly another blogger meet-up should be in the works?)
